Comments Thread For: Claressa Shields Backs Anthony Joshua To Beat Tyson Fury, Explains Why

[OldTerry]

The odds would reflect how good A.J was.

The odds also were way off in the second fight , Ruiz didn’t win one round the first odds would be right , if A.J ran so did Fury who ran much more against Wilder in the first fight but the difference is A.J did damage to Ruiz .

Ruiz won’t beat a well prepared AJ , Fury doesn’t have Ruiz chin most likely and he will be much easier to hit then the shorter inside fighter like Ruiz .

It's all about styles right? I can seen AJ taking fury out. In fact I can see AJ dealing with Fury more easily than he would with Wilder (although he wins both fights).

He fought Arreola as his replacement.

Yes. But he fought Ortiz voluntarily after Ortiz failed a drug test. Shows it wasn't the fact Povetkin failed a test he didn't want it, he just didn't want to fight Povetkin.

As when we agreed int the 2nd Fury-Wilder fight, I agree with you now.
I think it is a 50-50 fight.

Now, will AJ fall for the mental games Fury brings before the fights?

Mental games won’t really matter here ,A.Js direct and when you push him he’s the guy that will tell you he’s going to break your jaw .

Had Ruiz been a Miller type character I doubt that fight goes down like it did the first time , people are forgetting the mental crash of Miller being crossed out where it did have an effect on A.J”s energy in terms of the intense press conferences.

Those banking on mind games to get a Fury win hasn’t really watched A.J interviews or pressers . He’s basically a terminator that his sole goal is winning in the ring ,nothing outside matters to him .

Yep I’m just showing the quality he’s fighting which is terrible for title defenses .

Possibly , but I just don’t have faith with a non active jabber to keep A.J off you and Wilder does not like pressure at all . Fury will be nearing 280 probably and in the very least attempt an ugly fight . Only if Wilder has a jab thrown ,I’d say 20 times per round would it make A.J cautious, I think A.Js going to handle Fury soundly either way , we’ll see if I know what I’m talking about here , my guess is another winning prediction.

The fight for Wilder I personally want someday is him vs Joyce .

[REDEEMER]

We seriously gonna blame AJ's training?? *** you AT@rds sure have a sht ton of EXCUSES!!!! *** giving Wilder a run for his money. AJ LOST now because he didn't have enough time to train??

What we at now???

Blame the fight location.
Blame the ref
Blame the trainer
Blame the not enough time to train
Blame the food
Blame the ring size (That why demanded a SUPERSIZE one in rematch)

What EXCUSES am I missing??? Can't WAIT for ypur NEXT round of EXCUSES after Fury beats him.

A.J sparred for one week for Ruiz and was still able to violently put him on the canvas .

Full camp A.J won every round and had his eye busted the opening round .

[REDEEMER]

Damn you dumb! I'm saying guys like Canelo and Fury are YEARS better then when they fought the Jose Cotto's and McDermott to now.

I don't think Fury will win. I know he will! And like u I'm gonna make some $$$$$ on it. But unlike u I'm gonna collect my money while you have a nice souvenir

Well lucky for Fury he didn’t fight a better McDermott when he fought him ,his career would have been over before it started because then he potentially loses twice to him .

Can you point out to where I said Fury is the same fighter now ?

You”re going to get the prediction wrong and look foolish as always on here not because you got it wrong but by the uneducated verbal debate you are limited to ,not one thing you said was factual beyond Furys improved which I didn’t even mention until you brought it up yourself ?

[Dreamking]

What does he do better ? Doesn’t punch technically like A.J isn’t as balanced and cannot counter punch like him either or throw as near compact combinations . Running around the ring doesn’t mean you’re more skilled .

Fury can read opposition better but that’s intuition , not skill sets .

idk go ask AJ you seem to be defending him enough.

[mxtali]

AJ learnt to run from Ruiz fight, but unless the ring gets 4x the area, he won't ever be able to run from Fury.

Why would he need to run from him? Seems like people only watch the Wilder 2 fight and anoint Fury as a killer. Fury will not fight Joshua on the inside.

[REDEEMER]

idk go ask AJ you seem to be defending him enough.

I’m still waiting for the answer ? See this is why parroting things instead of watching the two fighters never works in the favor of just relaying words , that’s just called being lazy and thinking you can just make the statement without explanation.

That’s why you can’t even answer it .


If you wish to believe Fury is the better boxer fine just remember when they actually fight words don’t mean much actual proof does .

A lot of people who sparred both say Fury ,the problem with that is in sparring your not there to pressure him and try and hurt him with that style , A.j takes it easy on guys in an aggressive style so of course they will find Fury trickier on a type of point sparring training with his long reach .

If Fury was the better boxer ,answer me this why can’t he keep guys off him easier ,he’s supposedly harder to hit right ? Do you think Wallin could pressure A.J like he did Fury ?
